Question

In 1990, a person is 15 years old. In 1995, that same person is 10 years old. How can this be?
It is a riddle so think it in a different perspective and answer my question.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In 1995 BC if a person is 10 years old, then after 5 years, i.e., 1990 BC, he'll be 15 years old! B.C. stands for Before Christ, and it means the number of years before the birth of Jesus Christ. That was about 2000 years ago, so the date 1995 B.C. means 3995 years ago and 1990 B.C. means 3990 years ago

Answer 2

Answer:

The era must have been that of Before Christ (BCE).

Explanation:

The timeline of the Earth can be split into 2 eras, according to the Gregorian calendar - Before Christ (BCE) and Anno Domini/Common Era (AD/CE).
In the case of BCE, the years go backward, i.e., 1990 comes after 1995, and so on.
Whereas in case of AD/CE, the years go in the usual order, i.e., 1990 comes before 1995, and so on.

So, in the BCE, if someone was 15 years in 1990, then in 1995, i.e., 5 years before that, the person would have been 10 years old.
